What's new

c&c

I like the original crop just fine, maybe take a touch off the right.

The pose is very unflattering to her, unfortunately. The crop at the bottom isn't ideal, but I don't see how to make it better without removing most of the picture, and it's not bad.

The light is quite marvelous on her hair, as has been noted. I don't mind the light on her face, although it is indeed rather harsh. It is what it is, this is what she looks like in the sun. I don't understand the desire to only photograph people under one of 4 or 7 or whatever Approved Lighting Patterns. I dunno about you, but I don't walk around with a Softbox Hat on all the time. Just Tuesdays.

I think the original is overly desaturated and cool but the warmed up variations are worse. This is direct sunlight, make it look like direct sunlight not some twilight golden hour glow, or some desaturated gauzy fog world.

What you think may vary, but I know that *I* would like this best if you were more true to the scene. Let it be itself, rather than trying to "fix" it, or make it be what it is not.
 
First crop is the best imo. It seems the most balanced.
 
Great shot! I actually like the desaturated look that you post processed. Good work.
 
Thank you all for taking the time to look at my photo! I appreciate the feedback and will most definitely put it into perspective next time! :)
 
but i like that color version much better that you posted just now

OK, I'll bite. Why do you like the over-exposure in #10?

I only meant I prefer a more saturated with color image in comparison to the first edit originally posted. In #10 that was the crop I'd have gone with.. not the edit. And to be thorough since I'm a little confused by your question... none of the above are exactly what I'd go with if this were my image.

Sorry, not the greatest in editing....stuck with Picasa :(

I don't know anything about Picasa, sorry!

GIMP is good in the mean time, should be relatively easy to pick up if you already know photoshop. It's free!
 
love it! were you using photoshop or light room??
Photoshop but I didn't do much besides warm it up a bit, add some color and crop. Unless you wanted me to do an edit with my interpretation of washed out colors or high contrast saturation.

I've tried GIMP, I never really liked it that much..might try it out again!

And I would love to see any kind of edit, they always give me better ideas on what to try next.
